The Kenya Photo Marathon is open to anyone with a passion for photography i.e. professional, semi professional, amateurs and hobbyist’s using digital point & shoot cameras or any type of digital camera (no phone cameras on the day). The photographers will make their way from the Kenya Photo Marathon headquarters in search of great moments to capture and interpret the secret topics/themes that will be handed to them prior to the official start of the Kenya Photo Marathon.
Beginning at 10.00 a.m., four of the secret eight themes will be handed to all participants before they line up in a mock road race marathon start set up. Then for four hours they must interpret and capture each theme with one single exposure in the exact sequence that they were revealed. Once the clock strikes 2.00 p.m., there will be a break then at 3.00 p.m. collect the next and final four topics/themes and move on to the next stage of the challenge.
Samsung will be at hand to sensitize photographers on the amazing new technology in digital photography using their smart tablets that will be on show at the venue of the event. By 6.00 p.m., participants will be expected to be back and then the pictures will be printed and judged by a top professional photographer judge from the industry. After the marathon, the judges will take several days and select the winning photos. The results will then be showcased at a public exhibition where all photos will be displayed. The winning entries will be announced and celebrated.
